Peace

-
One time I was lying in my bedroom and this overwhelming feeling of peace flooded my heart. I wasn't doing anything nor focusing on anything, and it built up small at first and then as if to reassure me that everything will be ok it overcame my soul and all of my emotions. My mood completely changed and the feeling stuck with me for long into the evening. It was the same feeling as a positive memory reminisce, times 100. Pleasurable and entertaining and satisfying completely all at the same time. That's who He truly is. That was an answer to prayer.

Malachi 1 notes

 Malachi 1v2 Xref romans 9v13.  In the Book of Malachi we read about priests who have been corrupt. In the same way in the Book of Romans the priests were still corrupt as Malachi was written only 400 years prior to the time of Jesus christ. Concerning this corruption the Apostle Paul makes an argument saying that those born of Abraham do not always inherit Abraham's promises. But just as God loved Jacob and hated Esau or more so eat them the nation God chose Jacob or Israel because they had done God's Will and obeyed the lord. He rejected Esau and the nation of Edom because they wanted to destroy Jacob and the nation of Israel just like Cain destroyed abel. But this time God saved Israel and Jacob. Here are the argument continues to say that even though the Jews are born of Abraham they do not necessarily automatically inherited the promises of abraham. Nor the promise of God's blessing but instead it is based on obedience and belief in the Lord. For this reason God has re...

Lying for a good cause

-
 When I grew up I hated lying and I never wanted to lie ever. As I got older I realized that sometimes I lied for a good cause. And then I thought what is the moral stance of God on that issue? Well in King David's story we see that King David lied to another king that would have killed him otherwise. He pretended to be insane and let drool drip down onto his beard so that he could save his own skin. He also lied to King Saul when he evaded him. He also took bread from the priests and ate and drank so that he could survive. God considered all of these things righteous. For God had said that David was faithful in everything that he did except for in the case of Uriah the hittite. There are more examples but God does allow us to lie if it is for a good cause. Now he wants us to try to be honest at all times, but sometimes we are in an unfair game. For example homicide investigators sometimes lie to their suspects in order to get them to confess to their crime. A woman kidnapped by a ...
